MESSENGNR

Space to do stuff mostly
X to read messages (don't)
C to close messages (do)

I didn't have time to finish, but this is what I got to. Works mostly, if you get stuck or the screen turns black press R. Sorry.

If you want to mess around with the debug code, type "MESSENGER" on the title screen and press enter. After that, press J, G, 1, 2, 3, or F12 to mess with the graphics. Some or all of these might crash the game! Good luck.

Genres: platformer

Such a crazy, hypnotic game ! I love the art style and glitches effects. The strange messages adds to the overall mood. Great job

Graphic design and effects very beautiful.

Hey. I love the shaky,pixelly graphics, the whole Rhubarb and Custard gone digital aspect. Nice sparse sound effects also.

The game might be funny , but I've been unable to play it more than two minutes because of the constant "movement"

I suppose it's just the "mood" of the game and maybe I'm too old for this :D

The glitch graphic effect is cool. Messages were interesting. Not sure why i got many points on some levels and zero on others.

Really cool effects. I like art and music.

Nice effects and sounds! strange game, but I enjoyed the experience.

Nice glitchy effects and audio. The score was too little of an incentive for me to not open the letters though, but I'm not sure if that was your goal.

The game has a great bizarre atmosphere, very cool effects!

GREAT aesthetic! Definitely checking your source to learn all of the secrets :D

Great concept and aesthetics. I couldn't get the debug code working. This game would rock with improved gameplay!

This game is trippy lol

Woah, trippy! I was really conflicted between reading the messages and trying to get points. Not that points do anything, but years of gaming have conditioned me...

This is one I'd really like to see more work on!

Woah, color bleeding was cool, though i might put a warning for epilepsy. I liked the glitch effects and the audio. I thought there were some places in the level that might have been like a secret message but it was just the text "space" appearing randomly.

You should put a seizure warning somewhere.
Nice effects, but I think you overdone it

Though I didn't see the connection to the theme the game itself was quite cool! Loving the weird and glitchy graphics.
Pierrec28 Aug 2014, 23:12
Woah...that was weird. I was hoping the glitches would increase with the letters but apparently not. Weird creepy experience anyway!
damrem30 Aug 2014, 19:51
LOL! Only scoring if not opening the crazy messages! 5/5 in Humor category, and in others too!

This is insane, but I love it! I can't help feeling I would have gone blind if I'd played for much longer, so it's probably for the best that you didn't finish. ;)

Superb game. I wish all entries (including my own) was more like this. Really like how the game urges you to the _don't_ and gives you rewards for doing what you shouldn't.

It was ok, I like the aesthetics.

Mwahaha, so crazy entry! I spent a good time on it. Very interesting, good graphics, good playability.

Really nicely disturbing 'game' you got there. Really great atmosphere with the glitchy graphics and sound. I'm just not sure, what I should take away from this.
